Abstract
Large aggregates of self-interstitials are known to be responsible for the rod-like defects which havea {113} habit plane. In regions where there is a supersaturation of vacancies, similar defects areformed by the aggregation of lattice vacancies. We present the results of first principlescalculations that show such structures to be particularly stable in comparisonto isolated vacancies and stable vacancy clusters, but less stable than the{113} self-interstitial structures.
